btrfs: get rid of re-entering of btrfs_get_tree()
[EXISTING PROBLEM] Currently btrfs mount is split into two parts: - btrfs_get_tree_subvol() Which sets up the very basic fs_info, and eventually calls mount_subvol() to mount the target subvolume. - btrfs_get_tree_super() This is the part doing super block allocation and if there is no existing super block, do the real open_ctree() to open the fs. However currently we're doing this in a complex re-entering way: vfs_get_tree() |- btrfs_get_tree() |- btrfs_get_tree_subvol() |- vfs_get_tree() | |- btrfs_get_tree() | |- btrfs_get_tree_super() |- mount_subvol() This is definitely not that easy to grasp. [ENHANCEMENT] The function vfs_get_tree() is only doing the following work: - Call get_tree() call back - Call super_wake() - Call security_sb_set_mnt_opts() In our case, super_wake() can be skipped, as after btrfs_get_tree_subvol() finishes, vfs_get_tree() will call super_wake() on the super block we got anyway. The same applies to security_sb_set_mnt_opts(), as long as we do not free the security from our original fc in btrfs_get_tree_subvol(), the first vfs_get_tree() call will handle the security correctly. So here we only need to: - Replace vfs_get_tree() call with btrfs_get_tree_super() - Keep the existing fc->security for vfs_get_tree() to handle the security This will remove the re-entering behavior and make thing much easier to follow.
